Liam Gallagher has been criticised by a mental health charity for comments he made about Adam Ant.
Speaking to NME, the Beady Eye frontman described the former popstar as "nutty".
"Adam and the Ants? No. Not into a geezer who wears make-up. Especially f**king nutty ones. And tell him, 'You're not the only c*** who's off his tits,'" Gallagher is quoted as saying.
However, Sue Baker of Mind said in a statement: "It's not helpful for people brave enough to be open to be met with name calling.
"Many celebrities, like Adam Ant, have spoken out about their mental health problems and we are so grateful that they do."
Last year, Ant said that he and Gallagher needed to resolve their differences "man-to-man" after the pair fell out over song rights.
Responding to the threat, the former Oasis star exclaimed: "Bring it on, any time, you f***ing cowboy."
